Some days ago me and my wife watched the landing on Mars event, and it
was really special.
Although not much could be seen, besides people talking, and eventually
jumping on their seats in joy, it was a very exciting moment, and you
could perceive the great sense of achievement of those who worked to it.
It was very inspirational from one side, while from the other it reminded
me of how I didn't accomplish much so far, in my professional life.
There are people who land rovers on Mars, there are those who write
kernels, those who clean up the oceans[1], and those who fix our planet
by planting milions of trees[2].
About me, I can call it a big deal if I manage to produce some software
from time to time. And being that I'm such a perfectionist, my throughput
is so slow, even if I did manage to improve a little on that side.
I've got a milion of little projects in my mind, and I can hardly wrap
one up.

many more!
